@NunavutBirder The money has decided that no one can do anything without using AI and they're setting out to enforce this.
(Enclosure of the intellectual commons, more or less and by and large.)
If AI merely didn't work this would be evil and destructive. Given that AI actively makes everything worse it's closely approximating sacrificing the economy (and thus many lives) to demons.
(It talks, and it cannot know good or evil. Of course it's a demon.)

@NunavutBirder Such a garbage move. Let the #yyc library know. Especially if you are a donor.

Why?
Because artists have always embraced new tech since year dot, even over the howling of the conservative art gatekeepers.
THATS NOT ART!!!!!

@aeva but imagine if you had nvidia generate enhanced frames for you. You could sacrifice significant amounts of frame time to have them yassify your car for you at 240 totally real hz!

if i ever finish my racing game, the pitch practically writes itself. 4k 120 hz clean frames on most hardware, no bullshit.

Zip-Drive Emulator Puts Big Disks Back on LPT
Iomegaâs Zip drives filled an interesting niche back in the 1990s. A magnetic disk that was physically floppy-sized, but much larger in capacityâ starting at 100 MB, and reaching 750 MB by the endâthey never quite had universal appeal, but never really went away until flash memory chased them out of the marketplace in the early 2000s. While not everyone is going to miss them, some of us still think itâs a better form factor than having a USB stick awkwardly protruding from a computer, or microSD cards that are barely large enough to see with the naked eye. [Minh Danh] is one of those who still has affection for Zip drives, and when his parallel port Zip 100 drive started to give up the ghost last year, he decided to do something bold: reverse engineer it, and produce an emulator. First software, and then in hardware.
Itâs not the prettiest-ever prototype, but lots of great things start with a mess of wires.
The first was to create a virtual zip drive that could run on a virtual machine and be accessed with DOS or Windows up to XP. The next task was to move that functionality onto a microcontroller to create something like a GoTek floppy emulator for LPT Zip drives that heâs calling the LPT100. Yes, Zip drives were built for APATI, SCSI, FireWire and USB, too, but [Minh]âs was on the parallel port and thatâs what he wanted to replace, so the LPT interface is what set out to recreate.It works, too, though took more guts than was expectedâ the 8-bit PIC18F4680 he started with just wasnât up to the task. He moved up to a 32-bit PIC, the PIC32MZ2048EFH144 to be specific, which proved adaquate when testing with his Book 8088, a new DOS PC from 2023. Iomegaâs official driver wonât run on an 8088, but the PALMZIP utility does and was able to transfer files, though only at the slow nibble rate due to limitations with the Book8088âs LPT hardware. Watch it in action below.
Alas, moving up to the Pocket386, it seemed the PIC just could not keep up. [Minh] says heâs thinking of moving to the faster Teensy 4.1, which sounds like a good idea. Considering the Teensy can be configured to serve as a drop-in replacement for a 68000, bit-banging the bus at 7.8 MHz, weâd think it should handle anything a parallel port can throw at it.
Thanks to [Minh Danh] for the tip!
